We saw this last summer and it just returned for what’s been a rather bleak winter: the Capital One promotion potentially worth $1,000 (or more) of travel is back!
New Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card applicants can earn 75,000 bonus Miles after spending $4,000 on eligible purchases within three (3) months of being approved for card membership. Plus, they’ll receive a one-time $250 Capital One Travel credit to use during the first cardholder year — regardless of whether or not they meet the minimum spending requirement. (Learn here how to apply for this offer.)
75,000 points are worth a penny each when redeeming them through Capital One Travel. So, that’s how we get a $750 value. You can also transfer them to one of Capital One’s partners such as:
- ALL – Accor Live Limitless (2:1)
- Aeromexico Club Premier
- Air Canada – Aeroplan
- Air France-KLM Flying Blue
- Avianca LifeMiles
- British Airways Executive Club
- Cathay Pacific – Asia Miles
- Choice Privileges
- Emirates Skywards
- Etihad Guest
- EVA Air – Infinity MileageLands (2:1.5)
- Finnair Plus
- JetBlue (5:3)
- Qantas Frequent Flyer
- Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer
- TAP Miles&Go
- Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles
- Virgin Red
- Wyndham Rewards
Depending on your Miles transfer, you might get even more value through those programs. (The JetBlue and EVA transfer rates don’t really get me too excited. But SkyMiles aficionados might like the Flying Blue and AeroMexico options. The other programs can offer some great opportunities, too.)
The Cap One Venture Card (not to be confused with the benefits rich Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card) earns 5X Miles on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel and 2X on all other eligible purchases.
So, you’ll earn at least 8,000 Miles in organic spending if you knock out that $4,000 minimum for the early spend bonus.
